- Bike computers offer some great opportunities to get more out of your rides and out of your bike, especially when connected to an EMTB! The ability to get directions, find trails, and keep tabs on your ride stats are useful for any bike, but connecting your bike computer or head unit to your eBike opens up many more possibilities. More detailed battery metrics and motor performance stats are just a couple of benefits - Adam's here to go into more detail and show you just what you can get when you connect your computer to your e-bike!

Have you used a bike computer or head unit with your eBike? What's the biggest benefit you've found from using it? Let us know in the comments 💬
It's sad that it's a 'locked' feature on a more expensive units only
You can't connect Garmin to any Bosch motor, very disappointing ☹️
As Im in the market for an emtb - this will sit heavy on my decision (Canyon or Spec) - are there any plans for Bosch to release a Garmin app?
100% who wants a mobile phone strapped to their bars… which seems to be Bosch’s answer…
Although you can't connect a Garmin to Bosch I do have their Kiox display and app which is pretty good
I'd love to connect my Garmin to the Bosch Smart System, but unfortunately, Bosch is not allowing that. Honestly, I'm not sure why they're reluctant to implement bike computer connectivity, I'm not switching to Bosch Kiox anywhere soon as I'm using my Garmin to track all my sports activities anyways. I see a lot of people complaining about it.
If you’ve got a bluetooth derailleur (such as SRAM GX AXS) Garmin will pick that up as a sensor to display the gear you’re in… quite useful, despite my Bosch Smart System’s lack of connectivity with Garmin.
I have a Bosch smart system on my Emtb. Unfortunately in terms of connectivity and diagnostcs information it's worst than the older version I had previously. Furthermore it does not even connect to my heart rate monitor ☹️. I really hope that Bosch will soon release these upgrades (Software) to connect to the Garmin devices and also stops creating new not backward compatible devices. This is only upsetting us nearly ex faithful fans to them
What about the Bosch Nyon display instead of the Garmin tho?
@@fpoutdoors450 On my old bike with the previous Bosch system I had the Nyon display. Unfortunately the Nyon display is not compatible with the recent Bosch smart system. Backward compatibility is not there 😡.
And the incredible part is that the new smart version is supposed to be more connected!
Can Garmin and Bosch engineers look this. You must do some cooperative work, many frustrating customers, im one more. Sellers dont know, answers is maybe it works, damn expensive toys and lack of compability.
The most common ebike motor is Bosch... And even with the new smart whatever model it is just a closed system... Such a shame...
Garmins screens are like mirrors, they should just copy Wahoo's screens and that's it.
Every E-bike should already have such a computer with Display build in to the frame, as in TQ and Specialized MasteMind. Led indicatiors are cheap and should disapear already.
I'm waiting for new Sram motor, and maybe bigger and stronger TQ.
BTW TQ motor will send power data to your Garmin, so you can save on powermeter. Latest Fazua does the same and maybe some others can do it as well. Shimano unfortunately does not support this feature. Does anyone have a list of motors with this feature?
That was a damn good video...Adam. I have an older Garmin 1030, which I find provides better navigation performance than my Bosch Nyon display. The Nyon will lag significantly when recalculating a route change; the Garmin is far better in this regard. This really is a useful video, both for people who are new to mountain biking (especially bikepacking), as well as veteran riders who have not yet used one of these devices - very useful insights.
You will not be able to connect to a Bosch motor
Embn can you help me!! I’ve watched this video and this week bought one of these 840’s, the problem I have is I’ve connected it up to my husky hc5 with the Shimano steps and it has found and connected it but it will not work , all it displays is the battery bars all the other sections like mode and range etc is just blank ?? Is there summin I need to switch on ?? Plz help 🤪🤪🤪 Thanks
You cant connect to Bosh ebikes. It's such a scumy anti consumer behaviour. I will not buy another bosh ebike.
Work with Bosch (not smart system)?
Does the Garmin 530 or 830 work with a 2022 Specialized turbo Levo alloy comp? Or would a Karoo or Wahoo be better?
yes
Love these connected systems, use Komoot and Flow but PLEASE STOP USING 'YOUR' WHEN YOU MEAN 'THE'. IT AINT 'YOUR ERROR CODE' ITS NOT MINE, ITS 'THE ERROR CODE' FFS...
Love my Garmin on my Giant Reign E+ but the power sensor is appalling, Giant and Garmin need to get together and sort this out !
Hey I have a giant (Liv intrigue e+) and am having non stop issues getting accurate data. What’s the right way to connect? E-bike only? Power and cadence too? With a HR monitor it said I only burned 34 calories after 12 miles of blue trail. So frustrating.
Garmin 130 wont work with Steps. Its 530/540 upwards
It's the Garmin 130 Plus that's working...
@@paulpotorac its an 540/840 in the video
@@gardenogauge Yep, but the 130 can also work with Steps because of the ANT+
@@paulpotorac no it's can't. Garmin state the 530 is required as minimum. I have tried getting a 130 working
@@gardenogauge
I tried to put the link to the manual of the 130 or 130+ but TH-cam keeps deleting it.
I saw that the 130 and 130+ are ANT+ compatible and the display from newer Shimano eBikes are ANT+. So it should theoretically work.
On the other hand I saw that on the Garmin website it says that only from 530 upwards you can connect to an eBike.
Do you have a 130 and can test it ? Because I saw on another video that when you go to Sensors, you have the option "Shimano Steps"
I use a Garmin fenix 6 that connects to a Rocky Mountain powerplay using ant+ which I good because the bar controller only shows lights for battery level, now I can see battery percentage, heart rate and more plus Strava, use it every ride👍 great video
Hi any idea if this will connect to Bosch cx system
No it will not
Are these ALL WIRELESS connections? I also have the XX1 SRAM wireless shifting and Wireless Dropper....,.It would be so cool to get rid of my Stock display
I want the garmin 840/830, the solar feature isn't a dealbreaker, but need the touch screen of the 800 series, so no 500 series with just 2 buttons (was ok on old App version, but not new one that is designed around touch screen inputs), and the 1000 series don't really have features that are that much better, plus the size makes it too big for a handlebar mount.
Now if Apple would get off their ass and have more open API integration options so we could also use our apple watch. It will never be as good as the garmin gps, but a lot more practical.
So no to Bosch too. Sticking with Yamaha/Giant where it works perfectly
I have my Garmin FR255 connected to my Levo SL I set my watch to broadcast HR data but sadly this data did not go to my bike, does anyone know if there is a way to get watch HR data onto the Spesh mastermind TCU or is it chest straps only?
Sadly my Haibike NDuro 6 with Yamaha PW-X3 does not seem to support ANT+, so no connections. Still a great bike for a reasonable price though.
anyone know if the edge 130 plus works with a turbo levo
Is it only compatible with certain motors i.e. Shimano.
Which Garmin model is this? Can it be used instead of my cell phone app?
This looks great! Does anyone know if it will work with the Bosch Performance CX Smart System?
(Apologies if this is a noob question - this is my first ebike).
Nope. I am in the same boat and I can't understand why that's the case, they already provide those information to their Flow app.
That's a shame. Is the Garmin an improvement to the flow app do you know?
@@Mr_Blooteredyou need to delve deeper into your flow app,and your kiox screen (if you have kiox) as all the info is there for you,same as a garmin
Thanks for the replies 👍
Garmn won’t connect to Bosch and if using the flow app you can’t use heart rate unless you use an Apple Watch crazy closed system
I can pair my TQ motor with the Garmin Edge Explore 2
Which Garmin product is compatible, and which ebike is there any info on the Garmin website
530 and 540 upwards
I have a 2023 e160 whyte ebike with bosch motor. also i have a Garmin 530 and a smartphone.
Do I ditch the Garmin 530 and buy a Kiox to get the information you describe in the video, or is there a way to do this with the equipment I have?
Sadly, to get what you see in this video, what you need to ditch is bosch... It's sad, but i'm in the same boat...☹
Tried this just yesterday (before this video) on a Bosch motor with Purion head unit. Pairing with Garmin Edge 540 does not work. I think this pairing thing works only on a higher end MTB head units.
Bosch has a closed system and thus only their displays work
@@paulpotorac purion is their display, it's entry level buttons on handlebars. Not sure what you referring to
@@SergejGrabun
What I meant is that Bosch doesn't want you to be able to buy different products other than those made by them.
Basically either you upgrade the display with another expensive one from Bosch, if it's possible, or you don't have an alternative (like Garmin and Wahoo) and thus you're stuck.
This is one reason why eBikes are so freaking expensive - each one of them has a "proprietary" system, not a generic one that can be adapted/transferred from one bike to another.
the garmain also conects to your sram axs so you can set a display showing exactly what gear you are in wich is a very cool feature
Can one not generally tell what gear they are in by virtue of the fact that they are riding the bike and their feet are connected to the pedals, and the fact that they are a conscious human being?
@@HarryKuloh no
Great video unless you ride a Giant emtb. Inspired by Adam, went and bought Garmin edge explore 2, and then spent 2hrs trying to connect with the bike. No joy and it is going back to Garmin
For me the kiox 300 system is enough for me , I can use this with Komoot or Strava as GPS . I would like to try the Bosch smartphone grip but is it strong enough to hold my phone ? I now also use a standard phone grip the does the job really well . Maybe the Kiox 500 will be interesting . Is there any other bike computer that we can use with the smartsystem that will connect ?
